Chapter 676: 185: Engagement scene, shining brightly!_2

“Sister-in-law. Congratulations!” Wu Daming placed the gift box on the coffee table in the middle of the living room.

“Thank you.”

“Yangyang!” Li Ronghua, along with Goudan and Li Fugui, walked in from outside.

“Sister Ni Yang!” Goudan was very excited to see Ni Yang, he was about ready to rush over and hug Ni Yang when his eyes met Mo Qishen, and chickened out.

“Goudan.” Ni Yang reached out and patted Goudan’s little head.

“Sister Li has also arrived!” Wu Daming looked towards Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua gave Wu Daming a disdainful look, “Who are you calling ‘Sister’?”

This Wu Daming really needed putting in his place.

No matter how many times she had said it, he just wouldn’t quit calling her ‘Sister’.

Upon receiving Li Ronghua’s scornful look, Wu Daming scratched his head and muttered to himself, “Looks just like an elder sister but doesn’t want to be called one…”.

He really was the most pitiable.

Ni Yang intervened, laughing, “Sister Ronghua, Wu Daming, Fugui, Goudan. Let me introduce you, this is my sister Shangguan Xi. Sister Xiaoxi, this is Mo’s fellow classmate Wu Daming, this is my good friend Li Ronghua, this is Goudan, Ronghua’s younger brother, and this is her eldest brother Li Fugui.”

Shangguan Xi greeted everyone one by one.

Of course, Yang Guobao’s family couldn’t be absent from Ni Cuihua’s engagement ceremony.

A little later, Wang Meifeng brought Yang Changzheng and Yang Guobao over.

Seeing his long-lost friends, Goudan was especially excited.

By the time Shangguan Dehui and the others returned from distributing candy for good fortune, it was precisely half past eight.

The engagement ceremony was to be held in Shangguan’s home.

Therefore, everyone got ready to go to the Shangguan’s.

Shangguan Furong, dressed in a big red gift outfit, was busy arranging the engagement ceremony site.

She had a dominating character, and wanted to decide every single matter herself.

Madam Shangguan looked at the seating arrangement, a bit puzzled, “Why are all the relatives on our side? Furong, where did you arrange the relatives from the Da Ya side?”

In China, nothing is more important than table etiquette.

During big occasions, the elders and important relatives would sit on the first table on either side, but Shangguan Furong arranged the first and second tables on both sides only with relatives from the Shangguan and Zhao’s side.

The third and fourth tables were for Ni Cuihua’s relatives.

Shangguan Furong said, “All the relatives Da Ya brought are poor folks from rural areas. It’s embarrassing to have them at the first table!” The first table should be reserved for esteemed guests.

Having a group of nobles sit with country folk would be socially unacceptable.

Madam Shangguan slightly frowned, “Furong, who are you looking down on?”

“Did I say something wrong?” Shangguan Furong continued, “Da Ya is just a country girl. It’s already a great honor for her to marry into our family. Now she wants to choose seating as well? Besides, isn’t it a farce to let country folks sit with our relatives?”

The most esteemed guests on Ni Cuihua’s side should be the Mo’s and the Yang’s.

The Mo’s came because of Mo Qishen, and the Yang family probably came because of the Mo’s sake.

At this point, Shangguan Furong paused, and then continued, “Plus, I’ve invited Li Long, Mr. Abner’s assistant, to come. He will also attend my brother’s engagement ceremony! That will really enhance our family’s status! Do we want to embarrass ourselves in front of Mr. Li Long?”

Mr. Abner is a foreigner.

Although his status in China is not as high as Mr. Mog’s, he is still a powerful figure in Beijing.

Otherwise, Shangguan Furong wouldn’t have been so proud to have invited Li Long!

No one could envy more than attracting the attention of Mr. Abner, even if it was only his assistant!

Could Ni Cuihua, a farmer, manage to make connections with Mr. Abner?

Madame Shangguan’s face showed deep anger. “Furong, today is your brother’s day of great joy, I don’t want to argue with you. I will handle everything from now on.”

Madam Shangguan was old, and though she didn’t have much energy and originally did not want to intervene, she hadn’t expected Shangguan Furong to go too far, relocating Ni Cuihua’s relatives to the third table and beyond!

She couldn’t believe that Furong had thought of this!

“Mom!” Shangguan Furong frowned and said, “You don’t mind being embarrassed?”

“It’s you who makes me feel embarrassed!” Madame Shangguan took the stage to guide people in rearranging the tables and chairs.

Shangguan Furong, outraged, slammed the cup in her hand on the table, “Fine, fine, fine! Isn’t it enough for you if I stop interfering? Anyway, when it comes to embarrassment, it’s you who’ll be the laughingstock, not me!”

Madam Shangguan rearranged the tables and chairs once again.
